Dog Believed Drowned Returned Home

Jill — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:44:55 +0000

Meet Sophie tucker. This adorable little Australian Cattle Dog fell overboard her owner’s boat over four months ago. The seas were rough and her family believed her to be drowned in the waves, but Sophie swam over five nauticle miles to an island and survived in the wild for four months.

Her family was devistated by their loss. However, when they heard about a ferral dog surviving on wild goats on Bees Island, they couldn’t help but hope it was their little girl -and it was. When rangers brought her back, she seemed extremely happy to be home with her family.

Griffith said that when the dog was first spotted on the island she had been in poor condition.

“And then all of a sudden she started to look good and it was when the rangers had found baby goat carcasses so she’d started eating baby goats,” she said.

Sophie Tucker, a member of the Australian cattle dog breed, had been quick to readjust to the comforts of home, complete with air conditioning, Griffiths said.
